County approves fleet GPS policy, food-truck schedule and other administrative items; personnel to draft volunteer firefighter leave language
Summary
The board adopted a county vehicle fleet management (GPS) policy, authorized a routine on-site food-truck schedule, approved a bond-counsel procurement waiver and changed voucher/overdraft handling; supervisors asked personnel to draft a policy for volunteer firefighters to leave work for active fire response under supervisor approval.
Supervisors approved several non-capital administrative policies and directed staff on workplace policy updates.
The board adopted a county vehicle fleet management policy to govern GPS and vehicle use and authorized the return of the food-truck program at the municipal center (weekly vendors for employees and the public) beginning in May; staff said the food-truck program had not incurred county costs in prior seasons and vendors must provide insurance.
The board approved a waiver to procure bond counsel from a limited set of specialized providers, citing the legal complexity of bond work and limited local vendor pool. Supervisors also approved travel for county staff to attend a tax-collection-system demonstration and training in June; staff said the change was budget-neutral because it replaced a previously planned trip.
Finance-related procedure changes were announced: the clerk of the board and finance will identify and hold any vouchers that would overdraw a budget line, with departments notified monthly of budget deficiencies rather than waiting until the end of a fiscal period.
Supervisors discussed a possible written policy allowing county employees who are volunteer firefighters to leave work, with supervisor approval and limited conditions (responding to active working-structure fires rather than minor calls); the board asked personnel to draft specific handbook language for committee review.
Ending: Policies for fleet GPS, food trucks and bond counsel procurement were approved; personnel will draft a volunteer-firefighter leave policy and finance will implement monthly overdraft reporting procedures.
